Mailcrypt
Mailcrypt is an Emacs interface to PGP, written by Patrick LoPresti
<patl@lcs.mit.edu> and Jin Choi <jin@atype.com>. It works, it installs
without hassle, and integrates very easily. Mailcrypt can be obtained
from

Tools for Mime
Tools for Mime is an Emacs MUA interface to MIME written by MORIOKA
Tomohiko <morioka@jaist.ac.jp>, and KOBAYASHI Shuhei
<shuhei-k@jaist.ac.jp>.
Note:Do not use TM with Gnus 5.8.x or later. These versions of Gnus
have native MIME support and should not try to use an external MIME
library.
It can be obtained from
<URL:ftp://ftp.jaist.ac.jp/pub/GNU/elisp/mime/>. It has mirrors at:
<URL:ftp://ftp.nis.co.jp/pub/gnu/emacs-lisp/tm/> (Japan)
<URL:ftp://ftp.nisiq.net/pub/gnu/emacs-lisp/tm/> (USA)
<URL:ftp://gnus.xemacs.org/pub/mime/jaist.ac.jp/> (USA)
<URL:ftp://ftp.unicamp.br/pub/mail/mime/tm/> (Brasil)
<URL:ftp://ftp.th-darmstadt.de/pub/editors/GNU-Emacs/lisp/mime/>
(Germany)
<URL:ftp://ftp.tnt.uni-hannover.de/pub/editors/xemacs/contrib/>
(Germany).
To use with Gnus add the line
(load "mime-setup")
to your .emacs file before you initialize Gnus.
Alternately, you can use gnus-setup.el to activate tm, bbdb,
supercite, and other packages. See Question #2.12 for details.
If you are using an XEmacs version of 19.15 or newer, you do not need
tm as it is now included standard with XEmacs.
Group Lens
Group Lens is a collaborative filtering system that helps you work
together with other people to find the quality news articles out of
the huge volume of news articles generated every day. It was written
by Brad Miller <bmiller@cs.umn.edu> as his PhD thesis. It is now
distributed as a standard part of Gnus. A copy for Gnus 5 can be
obtained at:
<URL:http://www.cs.umn.edu/Research/GroupLens/>.
Insidious Big Brother Database
BBDB is a rolodex-like database program for GNU Emacs created by Jamie
Zawinski <jwz@netscape.com> of Netscape fame. Jamie has recently given
his blessing to a new version whose primary maintainer is Ronan Waide
<waider@waider.ie>. This version is the result of the fork that was
maintained by Matt Simmons for some time. The new home of BBDB is
<URL:http://bbdb.sourceforge.net/> and considered official and
somewhat stable.
